MK4 Accelerometer is an open-source printed circuit board by MCDELTAT, from the MCDELTAT/MK4_Accelerometer repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 23.5 × 20 mm with 9 parts on 12 nets, routed with 105 tracks and 6 vias.
Its parts include 2 capacitors, 2 resistors, 1 IC, 1 diode and 1 connector. It belongs with the sensors and measurement boards and the NXP (LPC, Kinetis, i.MX RT) boards of this library.
🛑 This board was submitted for reference, but it won't work without a custom cable. This is because I got the pins backwards on the Click-mate connector because I had crimped my own. When trying with a stock cable from Digikey, I noticed the error. This will be fixed in the next revision. In other words: don't try to make this one.
This is the bare minimum reference circuit as provided by STMicroelectronics, with an LED for reference.

It measures 23.5 × 20 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
9 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
From the MCDELTAT/MK4_Accelerometer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Accelerometer PCBs/v0.2/MK4 Accelerometer.kicad_pcb and its schematic Accelerometer PCBs/v0.1/MK4 Accelerometer.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask MCDELTAT before reusing the design.
